Longines Flagship 18k ref. 1403

Longines Flagship 18k ref. 1403 Introduced in 1957, the Flagship line was intended to become a pillar of the new Longines lineup, representing the brand’s vision of refined, modern watchmaking. Thanks to its clean and well-balanced design, the Flagship quickly gained popularity and soon became a symbol of good taste. Today, I am pleased to offer one of the most sought-after Flagship variants — an automatic example that directly inspired the later Flagship Heritage models. The watch features a classic gold case with a beautifully preserved dial, fitted with applied baton indexes and elegant dauphine hands. Despite its slim and understated profile, the watch houses an automatic movement inside, something that was quite remarkable for its time. A signature detail of the Flagship line can be found on the case back, where the iconic engraved caravel adds a gentle yet distinctive touch and perfectly completes the refined character of the watch. Simple, original, and beautifully balanced, this is a textbook example of a formal vintage watch — an honest and elegant Longines that would be a strong addition to any serious collection. Case size: 35mm (without a crown) Lug width: 18 mm Movement: automatic Longines cal. 380 Condition: The watch is in good original condition with movement keeps a good time around + 20s/day. ——— Unless stated otherwise, the watch was not serviced.
